I specialize in relationship trauma, particularly cult recovery, with adults. My clients are often gentle souls, have been called "too sensitive" and can find this world hard to navigate. Our society sometimes turns sensitivity & thoughtfulness into pathologies. If you're empathic and contemplative, not only is there nothing wrong with you, we need more of you!
I'm an Expressive Arts Therapist with a mission: empower clients through authentic, self-expression conversation and artistic modalities. Build your confidence and claim your life by embracing authentic identity and pursuing your true potential.
I believe a combination of compassion and the arts provide a uniquely personal & powerful vehicle through which anyone can heal emotional, psychological, or cognitive suffering.
